A Story from the Wild West

Chicago Herald: Talking about
the west" said a commercial traveller,
envy business calls me a good deal to
Colorado and New Mexico, and l have
many acquaintance and friends oCt
there. One Of my friends is a little
fellow named McDermott, editor Of a
mining camp paper. lis is not much
larger than q pint of cider, but he has
IA tremendous nerve. He is rs quick
as lightning with q gun, and is not
afraid of the best man that walks. He
was telling me of one experience he
had "A few months ago. A big, tough
fellow walked into his sanctum one
evening and announced that he he had
come to do up the editor. He had a
six shooter in his hand, and advanced
with it cooked. 1t happened that my
| friend had just sent his revolver out to
be repaired, and he was without a
weapon. He tried to p~alayer with the
Desperate and talk him out of his pas
sion, in order to gain time. But the
more he talked the liercer the caller
became. Suspecting that the editor
was unarmed, he took fiendish delight
in covering his victim with his revolv-
er, and telling him hat he had only
six minutes to live. But my friends
brain was working at a lively
rate all this time, and while he
talked he held his pen in the flame
of the gas jet over his desk. With
out the desperado's suspect
ing what he was up to he succeeded in
getting his pen red hot-it took only a
few secondhand her he made a jump
for his assailant so suddenly and with
such cat-like quickness that, before the
%rufian, taken ef his guard by the sup
position that the editor was unarmed,
could fire IA shot, the little man had
thrown one arm around the BIC fellows
neck, and was jabbing his red-hot pen
into his face at the rate of 200 strokes
to the minute. Imagine tho wounds
that big, sharp, red-hot pen must have
made, held securely in a strong celiu-
loid holder. and driven by the arm OF a
man fighting for life. Think Of the
sufferings that desperate must have
endured IN the the few brief seconds
before his agony conquered his cour-
age, and caused him to throw his re-
volver to the floor as II token that he
gave up the battle. That ruffian-he
vas drunk on the OCCASIONS now one
Of the BEST friends the little editor has,
though his face is badly SCARED by the
wounds inflicted on him. Over the
desk Of my friend now hangs q pen,
still covered with blood-stains its whole
length, and over it is a placa,d, writer
in the blood that formed upon it just
after tho battle:

Books.

Every one should read an hour or
two every day. 1t is very easy for one
to say that one hasn't the time, but
there are few persons who will read
this that cannot make the NINE. Give
up running around town with the
boys after the store closes at night and
go to your room and read some in
structive book for an hour or more.
You will sleep better for it and your
life will always seem brighter, no
matter how hard your lot may be, for
good reading will produce pleasant
thoughts, and there is nothing on the
face Of the earth that can make a man
happier than pleasant thoughts.
Reading Will make you an intelligent
man, and, no matter what you read,
provided it is not low or vulgar read
ing it will improve you. There isn't Il
man living that an hours reading a
lay for Il year will not noticeably inn
prove. Read books that interest you.
Never read a book just to be able TO
say that you have read it. 1t will do
YOU no good as is a waste of time. for
you give ii no thought OF attention.

American Harvesting Machinery in Aus
tralia.

Australian papers just received announce
the award Of the National Gold Medal TO
Aultman, Miller ~ Co., of Akron, o., fox
their Light Draft Buckeye Folding Binder, as
the result OF the national field trial held in
December last. The following, cut from the
Melbourne Argus Of December IL, 1866, Civ
ing particulars Of the contest, will be OF in
terest. The Argus says:
The field trial Of reapers and binders In
connection with the national show At Shep-
parton was held on Tuesday, tse 14th inst,
on Mr.. Guthrie's farm, about two miles from
Shepparton. Owing To the pressure Of harvest
work, crops in all directions being ripe, the
attendance OF farmers did not exceed 1871, but
great interest was taken in the proceedings.
AZ st he late show, the Judges placed the
HOrnsby machine first, Mccormick second,
and the Woods third; the Buckeye repre-
sentative distiked being left out In the cold,
and demanded n field trial rs provided by the
rules, the Mccormick also sharing in the
protest; SO the prizes were held over pend
ing the field trial. The crop was ripe
wheat, and the land was so rough that none
OF the machines could show very low cutting,
and the jOiting over the hard cluds was toler-
ably severe on horses, machines and drivers.
Two O'Clock was the hour fixed for the trial,
but as the Buckeye was the only machine
then ready, n delay was caused bv the Horns
by and Mccormick experts giving their ma
chimes a preliminary run in the adjoining
block OF crop, and u start vas not made until
a quarter past three. The five judges gave
great attention 10 their duties, and were ably
seconded by the subcommittee, appointed by
the society AMI the secretary MIR. Harold b.

each machine, and toey flushed in the follow

with equal ease. The decision Of the judges
was based OF the following scale OF points:

Cholera in Japan.

Some history Of cholera in Japan has
recently been published by the Director
Of the Sanitary Bureau for the En-
pire. According to this authority
cholera is known to have appeared in
Japan in 1922, commencing at Naga-
saki, the only port then open to foreign
commerce.; and at the same time the
disease is known to have prevailed in
China. Another epidemic took place
in 1853, but no statistical information
is available as to either of these out
breaks. But since the empire has been
freely open to foreign vessels cholera
has been much more frequent. 1t
entered in 1876, and in 1877 it caused
1867 deaths. The next epidemic was in
1879, when 105,78 fatal attacks were
recorded, After this there was cessa-
ton until 1885, during the course OF
which 1852 deaths occurred, and the
disease has extended into the present
year. Cholera is admitted to be, in
Japan as elsewhere, generally ASSOCIATE
ed with the prevalence Of local filth, and
great efforts arc being made by the
Sanitary Bureau to effect improvements
in this respect. IN. 7. Post
